| Additional Information: | Two-story Prairie School house. Mueller was president and general manager of G. Heileman Brewing. Compressed upper story with short windows; central large chimney. South side decked porch and front hip roofed enclosed porch; stone piers flank entrance and end of house; leaded glass in geometric design. The addition of stone facing to the exterior of the Mueller House in 1947 by the owner at the time, Howard Dahl, altered its architectural significance as a representative of Bentley's Prairie School architecture. |
